Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

Under Article 130 of the General Traffic Regulations, the occupants of an immobilised vehicle must get out on the side away from the traffic and must not walk or stay in the lanes or on the hard shoulders. Wearing a vest does not allow you to walk on the carriageway.
